News - 2006 hurricane season to be stormy, claims forecast.
(From Reinsurance)
Climatologists at Colorado State University have predicted that the 2006 hurricane season will be "very active", but fewer hurricanes will make landfall than in 2005.
According to William Gray, who has been making forecasts for the past 22 years, and Philip Klotzbach, the data indicates that the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season will be much more active than the average 1950-2000 season.
Their statement says: "We estimate that 2006 will have about nine hurricanes (the average is 5.9); 17 named storms (the average is 9.6); 85 named storm days (the average is 49.1); 45 hurricane days (the average is 24.5); five intense (Category 3-4-5) hurricanes (the average is 2.3) and 13 intense hurricane days (the average is 5.0). The probability of major US hurricane landfall is estimated to be about 55% above the long-period average.
